LMBO...i do know what ya mean. It sure isn't easy but together we will do better!

Hi,

I just got my 2nd fill on 8/21 and I really feel the restriction. I know it's the portions because, already, a couple of times I couldn't keep my food down. Should I be going back to eating 6 ounces? :tongue2:

yes for sure...& if that doesn't seem to help you. Go back to the doctor and they will take a little out for you to be able to adjust better. I wish you the best, God Bless

How long have you been banded? well i've been banded for six weeks now.and for the last month i haven't kept any food down it feels like it stops in my chest.i constantly vomit every time i eat anything.i had a GI done and they found nothing. but it's something because i can't eat

Well I have been banded a little over 3 years. I had my surgery on 6/6//2008. So I hate to put a damper on things but vomiting is like second nature. I don't know if this is how it is suppose to be but this is how it's been from day 1 for me. when I went to get checked out, they said I was fine. So I am working on eating less, eating slower and eating at the right time of the day. I know now that even though we are suppose to eat 3 small meals a day, for me, I can't really start my day eat ing until 10:30-11. So I wait until then. I don't know if this will stop me from vomiting but I am hoping to at least cut it down from doing it every day.

So hang on in their

sorry deleted prior comment by accident....I hope you receive my previous comment, You know who you are

Okay thankjs I will try and I am going to have to train myself to eat earlier than. I have not went to the doctor in a while but I will make an appointment soon, I just want to make the minor adjustments before I go. But if I feel that I need a little help I will go because I have come along way and this is the reason I got the surgery in the first place. To get the extra help. Oh yah, I am maintaining my weight as I deal with my life issues and I do feel great! Thaaaaanks

I am constantly vomiting...recently I went to the doctor to get un-tighten and I was find for about a week and now I am having problems again keeping food down. I think I have either something stuck inside or gas. For I don't think this should be. Has anyone had this problem and if you did what did you do?

Lately I noticed that when initially eating I have a hard time not only getting the food down but keeping it down. In the beggining the Doctor prescribed Famotidine 20mg and I am wondering if I should go back to taking them; Or getting something simliar over the counter like Pecid. Tell me what you think

Thank you soooooo much for all your comments. I was really worried about my progress. But all of you guys are correct...I need to watch what I eat and be thankful for the progress I have made. You guy has helped me in a great way. To see the LIGHT!!! To focus on the positive and not the negative. :confused:

Thanks.

I think you are right I am one of the lucky ones for I feel no pain. I just think it's so funny how the smallest things that we never took a second thought of before we have to be mindful and careful now. Anyway, I will keep you updated on my progress. Thanks for your response.

I swallowed my Gum a couple of days ago and I wanted to know has this happen to anyone else and did you have to do anything? I'm just curious.:tongue2:

It has been 2 months for me since I have been banded and I lost about 25 pounds. I am going for my next fill on 8/21. I'm not getting as full now and I am eating a little bit more; in addition, I gained a pound. Is this normal and is it possible that my band has slipped? Has anyone experienced this?
